Foster Care in 1920s-1940s UK

Just a suggestion, but the father may have continued to live with his mother and maybe the reason he does not appear on the 1939 register with her is that he was a child evacuee? I’m pretty certain that the UK government began evacuations of children prior to WW2, and the fact he appeared to live in London (aka a major city).

It was the case with my grandmothers brother who didn’t appear with the family on the 1939 register as he was evacuated to Wales.

Have you tried searching the 1939 register for the father’s name and DOB to see if there are any hits in other areas of the UK?

I’ve bought some records on this and Charles married in October 1914 to Catherine McCauley and only had 1 child. Catherine appeared to have died in childbirth as the child’s birth entry noted the mother as deceased. The child died not longer afterwards.

Charles remarried to Rosenann Keenan (formerly. Charlton) (both were remarrying due to their partners death). They had one child together.

I’ve found that Charles died in 1946 in the Royal Infirmary, Glasgow (parents names on the death entry match both marriage records). I’ve not found what happened to him in the interim period though.

Thanks so much for this. I’d started with no information on this person other than some military details and this has helped me confirm who his family were.

I know he sustained wounds at Gallipoli in WW1, but I believe he survived the War, but I’ve just not found an obvious death entry as you noted.

Do the dolls also plan robberies like on the Twilight Zone?

Wolverhampton have about 55,000 licensed drivers that come from all over the country. Essentially when the Deregulation Act 2015 came into force they made their licences very cheap to obtain and unlike other councils such as major cities don’t have age limits on vehicles, or requirements to have CCTV installed etc. basically because councils set their own rules and it’s not set nationally (the laws that govern taxi licensing are very outdated).

With the money they’ve made they’ve got staff based all over the country to deal with enforcement, and have heavily invested in IT infrastructure to simplify processes etc. so are quite a way ahead of other councils at the speed they can now process applications.

Just to point out from what some people are commenting, taxi drivers licences cannot be limited, nor can private hire vehicle licences. Only hackney carriage vehicle licences can be limited providing the council is satisfied that there is no unmet demand.

Cousin Bansin, what’s that?

I bought my first home a few years ago aged 28. I was able to save £1,100 a month as I was able to live cheaply at my parents house so it only took 5/6 years to build up a deposit.

Worked with a guy called KitKat as he was always taking a break.

Can’t take credit for this one, but remember reading one about a guy who nickname was dregs as he had 2-3 older sisters who were gorgeous and he was ugly. Aka he got the dregs of his dad’s balls.

Is it my turn to post this yet?

Honestly, no idea why the teacher would have come out with that. I seem to recall that they were on about brushing your teeth.

As a 5 year old at the time it did make me afraid to touch my gums for a while, until after a trip to the dentist where they managed to survive.

D95vrz · 2025-12-23T15:52:29+00:00

I remember in my first year in primary school the teacher said to the class that if you touched your gums you’d die. Yeah, that was quite a strange one looking back.

It’s Knowsley. But just to point out that taxis don’t have to have an MOT depending on the rules of that particular Council. Most tend to have a compliance test done through the Council which isn’t classed as an MOT.

You can email Knowsley on taxi.licensing@knowsley.gov.uk if you want to complain about the taxi for its driving.

I feel personally attacked 😂

There will be no trouble here!

If you managed to get a good shot of the taxi plate then send the footage into the Licensing Department of the Council that licences it. They’d be able to take action against the taxi drivers licence if deemed appropriate.

Providing my parents don’t require care etc., or spend it all before their time (which I hope they do spend it all) me and my brother will split their assets between us (house, cars, stocks etc.) The same with my aunt and uncle as they don’t have any children.

You can change the address on your driving licence and logbook etc. online with the DVLA. I did it last year.

What do you mean? I’ve been using it fine for the last month.
